The circumference of a circle with radius r is given by:


C=2\pi\cdot r

The area of a circle with raidus r is given by:


A=\pi\cdot r^2

Then for a cirlce of radius 7ft we have a circumference of:


C=2\pi\cdot7ft=2\cdot3.14\cdot7ft=43.96ft

And an area of:


A=\pi\cdot(7ft)^2=3.14\cdot49ft^2=153.86ft^2

Then the answers are:

Circumference: 43.96ft

Area: 153.86ft²
